Travel guide

The Kingdom of Cambodia is in Southeast Asia. While the Angkor Wat commemorates Cambodia's glorious history, the country has been ravaged by colonialism, the Indochina Wars, and the Khmer Rouge regime, and remains one of Asia's poorest countries. However, in the 21st century, the country is getting back on its feet, its economy is growing as fast as Vietnam's, and Cambodia has become one of Asia's most popular tourist destinations.
